Hi,
If you have a formula in a cell, it is never considered blank, even if the
formula returns an apparent blank.
You will often get this with 'IF' formulas: eg IF(A20=5,"Bing","")
If A20 does not equal 5, then the formula returns a "".
But XL sees this as a zero-length string, not a blank cell.
You will need different code in your Access code; something that tests for
zero-length strings.
Instead of "is not null" perhaps "len(cell ref)=0"
I'm not too familiar with Access, so you'll hav to figure that part out.
Regards - Dvae.
